Today was a quiet day in Prince Rupert. We stayed in the now familiar hotel, Inn on the Harbour and awoke to cloud and some fog. Around 10:30 AM J headed out for a hike He got no further than the front desk and they advised him, the fog was more likely to lift in the afternoon. So he returned to the room and we decided to walk to Safeway to buy some food.
At Safeway we picked up hot chicken for lunch and bought a selection of food (cheese, meet, yogurt, veggies etc) we will snack on tomorrow during our 17 hour ferry ride. We brought our chicken back to the hotel and ate at a table in the breakfast room.
J headed out after lunch to tackle the 9 km trail "The Tall Trees". I wasn't willing to put in the effort when I still couldn't see higher than 100 m before hitting the cloud, while the trail he was going to climb was 450 m. In the end, J climbed at the speed he wanted and did get a view at the top!
When he returned I thought we would hike the Butze Rapids, but told me the best views of the day had passed along with the movement of the cloud. So we walked downtown to Dolly's for supper instead.
While walking, we found another cruise ship in town, the Seabourn Quest!
We walked by the colourful shipping containers on the port, that get transformed to market stalls. We took note of the fun chart showing rainfall around the world. Prince Rupert is at the top with 2,620 mm of rain a year, Hong Kong is second with 2,220 mm, while Toronto has 831 mm! We really were blessed with amazing weather while visiting this region!
We had halibut and crab at Dolly's for supper. It will be an early to bed night as we have a 5 AM alarm to drive to our ferry!
